Read on for more information. It's the most important thing you'll ever do. Discover EnergySpeak, Leadership, Language and The Legal Edge. One client recently wrote: "I can't tell you how pleased I am that I took your course! I signed up because of some vague expectation that I would improve my communication skills... I was literally amazed at the depth and scope of the course content. As I see it, what you are offering is highly academic, highly structured and scientific protocol that brings not only predictable results, but inevitable ones." Join us now for a discussion of what Theatre Techniques for Executives® will do for you. You'll learn a few things along the way! Discover . . . EnergySpeak! Fine actors don't pretend to feel an emotion and put it on. They are trained in the process of feeling that emotion in a real and true manner. Therefore we believe them. Basic to our exciting first course are two uses of non-verbal energy. •The use of a performance energy level--a very high energy level which is creative, not nervous energy--directly influences your visibility. You can have the most wonderful company in the world and be representing the most marvelous product. You can be sincere and full of integrity. But . . . if you are not visible above your competition (and above the information with which people are being bombarded every day), you might as well save your breath. High visibility is critical to successful performance. Performance energy is also the base dynamic of leadership and the energy level of peak performance. •The non-verbal language is the most powerful language that the verbal language merely enhances and colors. If an individual doesn't know how to speak this language, he/she is not communicating to his/her full potential. - Why? - Because an audience, be it one or five thousand, hears only seven percent of what you say. Seven percent isn't a whole lot of impact, is it? Three percent of that audience's impression of you is formed by what you look like (unless you look somehow extreme and wear bubbles to the boardroom and feathers to the financier). • An all important ninety percent of an audience's impression of you is formed by how well you speak the nonverbal language. Our impression of a person is formed by: 3% what a person looks like 7% what we hear 90% by their use of the non-verbal language Given the opportunity, where would you invest your money? Where you will get a 3%, 7% or a 90% return? It's no contest!
Discover . . . Leadership! In essence, we are training you to be an Olympic athlete. But instead of the triathlon, you will be trained in the dynamic art of communication. But what does this have to do with leadership? Just this--good leaders don't work from a base of fear, they work from a base of power. They want every individual in the company to be as strong and dynamic as they can be because it ultimately means more revenue for everyone. Both the company and the individual win. And good leaders aren't afraid because they know they have the skills to inspire and motivate everyone under them. Leadership skills are born out of the non-verbal language. Learn to speak it. The information presented in our courses is unique to our corporation alone. It is the access key to every business and training program you'll ever take such as TQM, Open Book Management and others. If you've taken these courses, you've gotten good information but you don't have it all. Not by a long shot. Theatre Techniques for Executives® will give you what you've been missing. Want the bottom line? Expect these results:

CORPORATE TRAINING PROGRAMS Stress Reduction Program: The marketplace is filled with fear, anxiety, conflict, intimidation, pressure and history. Consistent stress reduction is a critical factor in your success. By taking the time for regular stress reduction, the solid results you gain become the springboard to your rising above your competition. Theatre Techniques for Executives® offers a Stress Reduction Program like no other. Thirty minute sessions fit into your workday early in the morning so that you and your employees benefit from the application all day. Our Stress Reduction Program focuses your employees and builds a sense of team; it is imperative that every employee participate in this program. Absences are strongly discouraged. Our Stress Reduction Program runs every morning for a month. During this time, we train a key individual in your company to lead the application. Then, once a month for a full year, one of our representatives will participate in your program, supporting your work and making any needed adjustments. Hiring Dynamics: Theatre Techniques for Executives® (TTE) are experts in the art of non-verbal communication and has developed the Learning Line Sequence Assessment tool for increased production, an invaluable tool for interviewing applicants and placing them in their hot spots. You and your associates communicate on several levels. These communications occurs through words and, more importantly, through the movement of emotional energy. TTE are experts in recognizing and reading these powerful, non-verbal communications and in teaching you to use your own communication skills to your advantage as you interview future employees. As you learn the empowering technique of non-verbal language, we teach you the language of energy, not words. People hear only 7 % of your words. They retain a full 90% of your non-verbal communication; We are not talking about "body language" when we talk about non-verbal communication. The theory of body language is often as misleading as words and we'll prove it. You see, body language should work, in theory, because the person's energy should follow the energy set in the emotional moment. But many people are either unconsciously disconnected or deliberately disconnected from the emotional moment and in these circumstances, the reader of body language will be wrong. Energy, however, never lies and to the people who know what to look for, it provides clear, accurate information. Whether someone "feels" like the right employee, whether or not an applicant wants the position with your company, whether or not the applicant sees what you want them to see and hears what you want them to hear--all these things and more are a direct result of how well one speaks the non-verbal language you must learn to speak it well. When you are interviewing future persons to represent your company, your goal is to hire the best person for the job. Through "Learning Lines" you will be able to make that judgment accurately. We teach you to discover prospective employees' "Learning Lines", so you will recognize their potential and the range of their skills. We'll teach you to reach them and communicate with them in the most extraordinary way you've ever experienced! Advanced Workshop: (Off-Camera) This is an applied class in which participants bring scenarios -- from presentations to one-on-one -- for exercise and critique. Emphasis is on the individual's consistent access to The Best Self. This course continues until the work is done. Advanced On-Camera Workshop: This is a course in which individuals perform and are videotaped for critique. This is an excellent class for a certain level of development when much of the technique is already being used. The videotape experience is invaluable to recognize the moments that are still being missed. This course is recommended for people who are beyond the issues of self-consciousness and judgment. Follow The Leader A course geared especially for CEOs and senior management, this class teaches you how to inspire and motivate your employees on the deepest level. There is heavy emphasis on leading dynamically, the verbal and non-verbal languages, creating a strong reality for yourself and others, developing listening skills and the classic ability to create win-win solutions. Employee Leadership Skills: This course is designed for employees who must lead other people in some way. Whether leading other employees, associates, clients or the community, your company is only as strong as the individual's leadership skills. From the employees' perspective, we teach the dynamics of leading, the verbal and non-verbal languages, reality studies and listening skills. Sell Yourself! The emphasis in this course is on making the salesperson and the product so appealing that no one can possibly turn them down. We access the perfect salesperson -- knowledgeable, charming, caring and efficient. We combine this with powerful verbal and non-verbal language. This creates a reality for you suffused with so much potential that clients will not be able to resist. Your salespeople will not only make the sale after mastering this efficient technique, they will have more time to invest productively. Intimidation/Conflict Workshop: Time and energy are lost when intimidation and conflict rear their heads in the workplace. In this workshop, through a series of team-building exercises, role-playing activities and arbitration, individuals come to transcend their differences and see their situation for what it is: an old, outdated pattern of energy. This course creates a profound change in the individual: ineffective behavioral patterns of a lifetime are replaced with positive and empowering new ways of being. Say What You Mean To Say: This course is designed to connect you with your emotional moments. When you are disconnected from the emotional moment, you are merely saying words. This certainly sends the wrong message to your audience--of one or five thousand--because they assume automatically that you don't mean what you say. Emphasis is on bringing up the real feelings you have stored in your body and the connection you have with them to your language, verbal and non-verbal. Personnel Consultations: Theatre Techniques for Executives® will save you time and money if you will consult with us as you hire. For one hour, we put your perspective employee through a series of activities that will reveal his/her learning line, willingness and ability to create a synergism with the patterns your company has already established. A written report is furnished. One-on-one: From business formal to business casual-Dress Right! Discover your Best Self from the outside! Know what makes people look at your face, not your clothes.

This training program is exclusive only to CEO's, presidents, chairpersons, officers, founders and senior executives. The Legal Edge: We all know that communication is both verbal and non-verbal and we also know that the verbal element--the spoken word--taken alone, is an extremely unreliable story-teller. In a family, this can lead to slamming doors, grounded teenagers and kitchens being cleaned in silence. In the world of trial lawyers, cases are won and lost. The most unexpected person emerges as the leader of the jury; witnesses aren't believed despite their credentials and their command of the facts; other witnesses are believed despite their "little mistakes" about the same facts; and jury decisions turn on an obscure point either overlooked or understated in the case premise--all because of an insufficient or incomplete understanding of the role of the non-verbal language in communication dynamics and the effect this non-verbal language has upon the decision-making of the trial judge or jury. Fine professional actors have always known "it's not about the words". Some trial lawyers have learned the same lesson and the most successful have understood that a trial is a living, breathing thing with its own personality. They understand that, in the theater of life, what is said -- even under the loose constraints of the witness or juror oath -- only creates a framework, a skeleton upon which the personality of the trial emerges. And it's not about the words. Theatre Techniques for Executives® (TTE) are experts in the art of non-verbal communication. This expertise is an invaluable tool for trial law firms, in the development of the case premise, in witness interviews/depositions, in voir dire, in communication with the trial judge or jury and in the examination of witnesses, ours and theirs, at trial. We are not talking about learning to communicate. You already are communicating non-verbally and communicating well. This may be both the good news and the bad news. Potential jurors communicate. Witnesses, both yours and theirs, communicate. You and your associates communicate. These communications occurs through words and, more importantly, through the movement of emotional energy. TTE are experts in recognizing and reading these powerful, non-verbal communications in others and in controlling and using your own communications to your advantage for your team members and your witnesses. TTE's expertise in non-verbal communication will transform your own voir dire. We will design questions for you that will reveal what prospective jurors really think--no guesswork. We will help you to recognize when a juror's non-verbal language matches and does not match their verbal language, giving you insights you never thought possible. We teach you to discover prospective jurors' learning lines, so you will know how to reach each of them when they do become jury members. We also show you the leaders in the group, whether they look like leaders or not. Your non-verbal communication with this group begins with the development of the very premise of the case. The case premise, its presentation and the people involved in its presentation--all this communicates both verbally and non-verbally with the people who will decide the fate of your client. TTE works with you to choose and structure the foundation for this all important communication, the case premise. Once we are headed to the courtroom, we coach lawyers, associates, witnesses and non-witness clients who will participate in the empowering technique of non-verbal language. We teach you the language of energy, not words, and opposing counsel can have few objections. "Your honor, I object. This witness is too believable." That's an objection we can live with. We are not talking about "body language" when we talk about non-verbal communication. The theory of body language is often as misleading as words and we'll prove it. You see, body language should work, in theory, because the person's energy should follow the energy set in the emotional moment. But many people are either unconsciously disconnected or deliberately disconnected from the emotional moment and in these circumstances, the reader of body language will be wrong. Energy, however, never lies and to the people who know what to look for, it provides clear, accurate information. Whether someone "looks" guilty or innocent, whether or not a jury trusts you, whether or not the jury believes what you want them to believe and sees what you want them to see--all these things and more are a direct result of how well you and your case speak the non-verbal language. Speak it well. A sampling of what our clients say: "Just wanted to let you know how much our group enjoyed the sessions. Thanks again for a job well done!" Director of Training "I received positive feedback on my presentations today - a positive indicator. There was very real improvement and glimpses of freedom. This might sound strange, but our work in Atlanta helped wake a part of me up; revealing my potential. It was really exceptional and the lessons are more profound than I could have imagined…a real benefit / payback. Thank you so very much for this, Luanne." Sales Executive "Very unique! It makes me want to learn more." Director of a University "This was exactly the kind of learning I was looking for when I enrolled. The role playing/coaching really brought it together!" Executive Director "I gave the speech that prompted me to come to the workshop in April. It turned out great! The audience was very attentive… it was an incredible feeling during and after the speech. Thank you Luanne, for the workshop, it made a big difference!" Vice President of Marketing "My last three presentations have been much better as I channel and project my energy… it's true people notice when I use the techniques!" President & CEO "You can deliver the same information 14 million different ways. It doesn't change the information, it changes the way your audience (even an audience of one) hears it. That's an invaluable tool. If you're not aware of these "non- verbal communications", how do you know what message you are sending, or better yet, what message is being received?" Director of Human Resources "One of the best presentations on financials and numbers was given last week to 110 salespeople. The presenter was exciting, connecting and engaging. Salesmen don't give much time to financials, but they did last week. Your course for our executives has made a big difference ... in our 50% increase in sales this year. It's definitely been a benefit." President and CEO "Your techniques enabled our team to capture the National Championship of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). Your critique of our trials was like a lightening bolt to our awareness of courtroom dynamics. You gave us specific knowledge and techniques that are not available through traditional classroom teaching. They are truly unique techniques. Thanks for making the difference: the winning difference!"
